was the sole topic of conversation among
politicians of all parties last evening. The
general impression among men who make
q careful study q politics is that the
ticket is weak one, and there is among
Republicans feeling of fear inst the
ticket was rot nominated to be elected
This feeling is prevalent among RepUb-
licans OF the city OF New York especially.
While they openly declare the ticket g
strong one, and express the greatest con-
fdencC n It's success, they privately state
that the leaders could do much better. II
has slresdy among some of the "boys"
who run with the machine been dubbed
the hereditary ticket.
There is not man on it, they declare,
who is personally or politically known
outside of his own immediate neighbor-
hood, except Charles a. Dennison, the
candidate fer A.tOrney-General, who was
deputy under Attorney General Leslie W.
Russell, and o. z. H. Cornell, who was
the candidate OF the Republican party for
State Engineer and Surveyor some years
ago. Colonel Frederick D. Grant, who
heads the ticket for Secretary Of State,
the "b0ys" claim, IS running On the
strength OF his fsther's name, and they
say that he lever did anything for the Re-
publican party to deserve such reCOgni-
ton. The members of the q. o ?. who
secretly swear at the nomination of Grant
are tae Blaine men, and they fear that il
the son Of the leader CT the Union armies
is successful it will give an impetus to the
boom CT Robert Lincoln, Who is being
carefully groomed by the anti-Blaine Re-
pubNcans as candidate for the Repuoli-
can nomination for President.
While they openly praise the ticket,
they declare that it Is against the princi
pies of the people of the republic TO al
low greatness to descend from father to
son, They went those who aspire to
political honors to win recognition By
service to the party. This is the srsu-
ment some of them used on the train
coming from Saratoga, ard this a7gu-
ment WAS repeated in the corridors Of the
hotels last night. The nomination Of
James II. Carmichael of Buffalo for State
Treasurer, and Judge Jesse S. Lamoreaux
of Saratoga for Comptroller is
also criticised because neither
of these gentlemen are known
outside of the county IN which they live.
The Platform is another thing that en-
cages the attention OF the New York city
and Brooklyn Republicans. a delegate
from this city who had attended the cor
vention said: 81 an thoroughly disgust
ed with the action of the Republican con-
vention on the liquor question. l am
very much afraid that the Tan5heCkle
liquor plank adopted will lose US thou
sands Of votes, not only in the cities CT
New York and Brooklyn, but IN all the
cities If the state. II they had come out
,g-lx, No
would have been better. Il IS q fight
anyhow between the Republican, party
and the Prohibiticnists, ard if the con
yention had adopted decided pl>uS
against higa license, they would see that
We old not care for their threats
But now what do the PIclioilionists
think? Why, that we sre afr&id. L
will give them confidence in their powal
and spur them on 10 united efforts. L
they had adopted & decided high license
plank, we might win some CT them back
The liquor men will be against US, tOott
and nail. They know that the platform
means nothing, and that it is only & me-
with which to catch votes"
Shed Shook came down on the morning
train. While he processes the belief thu
the Republicans will carry the state, ht
does not admire the platform. He i;
against high license, and be doesn't care
who knows it. -AssemDlym&I JohI
E. Bro6sky, who fought so hard TO smenC
the liquor plank, thinks the convention
made mistake IN not adopting his sug-
gestiCn, but be Is q Republican and vii
do ell he can to elect it.
AqueIIct Con missioner Hamilton Fish
Jr., thinks both ticket and platform ad
mirable "Will the ticket WIN? Ger
tainly"
Assemblyman Ernest II. Crosby ex.
pressed his opinion of the platform OF
the floor of the convention.
The Democratic politicians were TIT
happiest mOrtsis IN the city of New Yorl
last night. "Had we the running of tn,
Republican conyenticn," said one, "snC
wanted IN easy ticket 70 beat we coull
not have done better than they did OF
Wednesday,"
"The ticket Is weak" said Senator
Murphy, land the platform weaker
Democratic victory in November Is nov
assured.
Register John Reilly is confident tina
the ticket Will be beaten by at least so 00C
majority.
But this confidence in success will no
cause the Democracy of the state TO rela.
its Efforts to roll up handsome msjorit
for its ticket.
The Democratic convention 20 be bel,
on September q in Saratoga will be one
OF the largest and most enthusiastic hel(
in years. The County Democracy vii
take up over 500 men and band o
music in special train, and TammSn
Hall will take up even larger number

ton, will be held on Tuesday eyenin
